I would like to see a much more organised road infrastructure in my city, Riga, as well as transport. I think we should also work on improving living conditions and raising wages. One of the most pressing problems is the threat of war, so another thing I would like is for this situation not to go to war and for there to be full confidence in security.

Things should definitely be more peaceful in 2040. Palestine could have its own state, Kurdistan too and Russia has a new leader who is pro-European. Taiwan is still autonomous and independent of China. Europe has moved even closer together and speaks with one voice. IS no longer exists.

Europe of the future should be a continent free of people. Primeval forests and wild animals will cover the continent as they did in the past. Hopefully at some point all the remains of inglorious humanity will have rotted away. Then the planet will find peace again, provided that humanity quickly eliminates itself, Covid19 didn't work, it's also tough with the war, but it will work out eventually. Important prerequisites such as self-centeredness, stupidity and arrogance have already been met.

in 2040, I'll be 90....what to imagine ???? It's not easy. At that age, you don't need many things any more, but I'd still like to be able to do my own housework without any outside help, take my dog for a walk in the morning and then put my nose to the computer to do my surveys to improve my small pension. In 2040, maybe there'll be self-driving cars, so I'll be able to keep my autonomy on that side too.... go out and celebrate with the family and be able to return home quietly without fear of being checked. Health worries would be a thing of the past, and there would be plenty of preventive means to prevent any illness. Cancer would be vanquishedCOPY00and many other diseases .... There would be no more rich or poor, and even fewer homeless. Pets would be protected by compulsory microchips, so that anyone who 'loses' their pet could be traced.
